Abstract

This article details the DC‐dot metadata editor, a tool developed by the UK Office for Library and Information Networking (UKOLN) to promote use of the Dublin Core (DC) Element Set. DC‐dot is one of the oldest and most widely‐used Dublin Core metadata generators. Andy Powell, Distributed Systems and Services Team Leader at UKOLN and creator of DC‐dot, discusses the state RDF, the impact that XML will have on Dublin Core, the challenges facing the DC Metadata Initiative, his role as a member of the DC Advisory Committee, and advice for metadata implementers.
